Vasopressin and Vasopressin Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
Vasopressin, a neurohypophyseal peptide hormone, is the endogenous agonist at V1a, V1b, and V2 receptors. The most important physiological function of vasopressin is the maintenance of water homeostasis through interaction with V2 receptors in the kidney.

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus associated with a new mutation in the AVPR2 gene
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is an orphan disease clinically characterized by profound thirst and the excretion of large volumes of dilute urine. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is characterized by resistance to the action of antidiuretic hormone (ADH ...

Control of Renal Tubular Sodium and Water Absorption - An Animated Model
The kidney is among the most complex of internal organs. This is due in large part to the multiple and integrated mechanisms of the kidney and their highly dynamic regulation by a variety of neurohormonal and hemodynamic inputs.

The osmoregulation of vasopressin
The concept that secretion of the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin, is regulated by the osmolality of body water originated with the pioneering studies of Verney over 25 years ago [1]. In a classical series of experiments, this investigator showed that the injection of hypertonic saline into the carotid artery of conscious, hydrated dogs ...

Effect of Vasopressin and Epinephrine in Cardiac Arrest Outcome in Patients with Asystole Rhythm
Introduction & Objective: The most persistent rhythm in the treatment of cardiac arrest is asys-tole. In this situation, the survival is rare. The choice is epinephrine, and vasopressin is as an alternative drug.
